Mrmaverick Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Ive had the black shark since it first was released then upgraded it to BS 2 when that was released. I have recently started using DCS 1.5 . I can fly the the BS on the 1.5 with no problems as all my other modules ( the hawk module keeps asking for the key every time i start 1.5, have since uninstalled it.) Have tried to get the Republic Campaign but it says I need the BS 2 module. As far as im aware the BS 1 module upgraded to 2 is the BS 2 module. Is this correct? If i have to repurchase the module just to get the new campaign I will give it a miss. Am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westr Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) It is BS2 what you have. I'd write a ticket in the support section of the DCS website I'm sure they will help you ive always found they are really good and willing to help. Just to clarify are you saying you are getting an error message when you try and purchase or are you just wondering if you have BS2?

winz Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I have BS2 upgrade version and was able to purchase the Republic no problem. The warning there is so people are noticed they need that particular addon, but it doesn't looks in your profile if you own BS2, so it is displayed even if you own BS2.

Vitesse2l Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 The warning there is so people are noticed they need that particular addon I'm unable to purchase the campaign also. I think the website and DCS are blocking me due to not having full BS2. It's more than a text warning, I think. Some people with the upgrade seem to have purchased, though. There's a thread in Payment and Activation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrmaverick Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 With the in game module manager, the buy tab is greyed out so i cant select it. Also on the DCS site it says it wont let me get it as it says i don't have the BS 2 module. I do have the BS 2 module all be it the BS 2 upgraded version. Its my oldest module , the first one i got, on disc as well as the rather large manual book. Don't know why but its not recognizing my BS 2 upgraded v . Im not using any mods in DCS 1.5 ether.

504smudge Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 i'm having same issue, i've got the BS2 upgrade version and I cannot buy this campaign in either the Module manager or from the website.

Home Fries Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 At this point, ED should just convert all BS2 upgrade serials to the "full" version. The upgrade is no longer available anyway, and this would make things easier for management on their end. 1 -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
some1 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 At this point, ED should just convert all BS2 upgrade serials to the "full" version. Yeah, I wondered that myself. We have usually paid more for bs1+bs2 combo than people who bought bs2 right away, we're the oldest ED customers and we're screwed. :mad: Hardware: VPForce Rhino, FSSB R3 Ultra, Virpil T-50CM, Hotas Warthog, Winwing F15EX, Slaw Rudder, GVL224 Trio Throttle, Thrustmaster MFDs, Saitek Trim wheel, Trackir 5, Quest Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too late for me though, (already bought pure BS2) but would love to be able to gift a module to a friend.

dburne Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 It would certainly be nice for ED to do that, and would probably save them a lot of support issues going forward. I am an original Black Shark owner, and back when 2 came out I held off a bit but saw with the integration in DCS World that might become an issue down the road, so I just went ahead and purchased the full version so I would not have to mess with having to have the original installed anytime I wanted to reinstall BS2 for DCSW. I don't mind supporting ED and am glad I did it this way, but would fully agree it would be a nice gesture for those that have the upgrade version to just have the full version now and not have to worry with this going forward.

If and when I ever build another computer with a new operating system in it, I will then buy the full newbie BS2 version. But for now, my upgrade version works just fine, so far... I wonder what 2.0 has for me and whether I will still be fine? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinsue Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 After I purchased this module, I couldn't download it from the DCS downloads section. I just seemed to go round in circles and gave the whole thing up as a bad idea. When I eventually started DCS and clicked on the Modules tab, a pop up appeared and asked if I would like to install the campaign. When I clicked yes, it downloaded and installed and automatically activated the module with the serial number. I didn't need the serial number that I copied to notepad from the confirmation email.

dburne Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Same here - I purchased the Republic Campaign this morning, after a few minutes I launched the game and then the module manager, sure enough I got the prompt it was available and selected to install. Very quick and easy process.
